(a) Explain the test procedure by sketching a lever type consolidometer (front loading) and labelling the parts on it. What are the parameters which are obtained at the end of this test? o', kPa Dial reading, AH 0 0.021 0 24 48 96 192 384 768 1536 384 96 24 0.025 0.050 0.203 0.686 1.238 1.778 1.638 1.457 1.307 se e The following time/settlement record was obtained from a consolidation test on a soft clay sample of average initial thickness 19 mm, for a given intensity of loading, drainage being through top and bottom surfaces: i.
